Aztec farming has become most famous because of the brilliant
Chinampa system that Aztec farmers used.
Certainly there were a number of techniques used in the Aztec empire.
But with the great city of Tenochtitlan built on swampy but rich
ground, the Chinampa became key to the food production of the people.
Chinampa were, of course, not just used for the capitol city, but throughout the
Valley of Mexico around the lake bed. As the empire grew, more
sources of food were required. At times this meant conquering more
land, other times it meant expanding the Chinampa system.
Hope it helped :)
